The usher then escorted them to talk to a manager. After telling the manager what happened, the employee was told to resume her post.

"[The manager] apologized profusely, but it still didn't help the incident and the hurt that came out of this," MacIvor added.

MacIvor noted she and her friend filled out an incident report detailing what happened.

After wrestling with the emotions of the experience, MacIvor said she decided to write about it on her Facebook page.

It was a tough decision, she said, partly because of how hurtful the incident was, but also because she hadn't previously shared her sexuality on social media.

"It's a professional platform, so I always hesitated to do that, and this was actually the first time that I announced to the world that I was gay," said MacIvor, who is a professional musician with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and has played on stage with musicians like Sarah McLachlan.

She said she has received an overwhelming response of love, support and understanding.

Since Saturday morning, her post has been liked more than 1,200 times.

Even Jack White, whose name has been linked on MacIvor's post multiple times, weighed in on the matter.

On Saturday, White played in Calgary, where he acknowledged what happened to MacIvor and her friend. He dedicated the song Love Interruption to the pair.

MacIvor has also received apologies from Rogers Place and the Oilers Entertainment Group.

"We have an absolute zero tolerance for any form of discrimination," said OEG spokesperson Tim Shipton, who added that Rogers Place is a safe and inclusive space.
